Love this. My first reaction to Born This Way was "oh, this is kind of Kylie covering Express Yourself in 1993". I also thought the lyrics were patronising and a bit on the cannon-aimed-at-fly side of things. But after a day of listening non stop -- and I never liked Gaga like this before! -- I realised this is going to be a worldwide number one which uses the word transgender in its lyrics. (Also, there's absolutely nothing wrong with sounding like Kylie covering Express Yourself in 1993.) And so I am sold. :)

My tracklist: Morning Dessert (intro)/Not Myself Tonight/Woohoo/Elastic Love/Love & Glamour (interlude)/Glam/I Am/Vanity/Lift Me Up/Bionic/Prima Donna/Sex for Breakfast/Desnudate/Monday Morning/Stronger Than Ever/Birds of Prey/My Girls Birds of Prey makes a PERFECT second-to-last track. It's what Later Tonight was to Please. Really, try it. And after that intensity something silly and throwaway like My Girls makes perfect sense.
